Small Silver Particles' Influence on Threshold of Electrohydrodynamic Instability of Nematic Liquid Crystal

AbstractThe influence of small silver particles dispersed in nematic liquid crystal on the elec-trohydrodynamic instability threshold characteristics (EHDI) was examined at this work. It is shown that the addition of small silver particles reduces the electrohydrodynamic instability threshold and increases the cutoff of the EHDI disappearance.
